Shame on me...

I have absolutely no good explanation for my absence, except that finding time to update the blog at the hospital is easier than trying to do it at home where there are many other things that need to be done.

We came home last Monday (yes, thats right, almost a week ago). The reason I have no time is because this kid at my house is new to us. Almost no seizures, sometimes one, at the most two a day, excessive wakefulness, increased attention, better control and use of especially hands and arms...I don't really feel like there is a way to explain how different Olivia is since the surgery. Medically, it doesn't make much sense. She was supposed to have more energy and get off the oxygen--which we have done as well, yet more energy doesn't begin to touch the changes in my child in the past two weeks. She is honestly herself finally come to life. I truly believe it solely the work of God.

We are so blessed and happy to have her at home and doing so well. We will post pictures soon, but my promises seem to be pretty empty lately.

Thanks for your prayers. We truly believe they made a huge difference.

We are a physically present family of 3, still learning what it means to both miss and remember our first daughter, Olivia, who went to be with Jesus in July of 2012. We are always struggling, but finding joy and hope in Jesus.
